That means with a wrench not your hand. The OEM filter is made a bit different with 2 metal rings sandwiching the gasket; metal to metal contact. You will need to get the wrench cap to fit. Then you can use a 3/8" wrench.

^ Definitely keep an eye on this. The correct filter, as Chuck described, is a pretty big filter. I've seen some dealerships put the smaller filter on and tell customers that it's just as good. Use the correct one.


I have had the oil light come on, even though I change myself. I always forget to reset it when I do the oil change so I go on my own experience doing the fluids myself, and not the computer. I think, in your case, it probably was just not reset

Buy quality oil, be sure you raise and jack stand your car correctly and you will have fun and save money to boot.
I never could figure that out. How can a tranny or diff fluid change cost more than an oil change?
